Tricks of a Pet Bear.

When the government lighthouse
tender, Manzanita, returned from her
Alaskan voyage she brought one more
passenger than she started with. This
passenger was little black bear cub,
Sallie, which literally Rugged her way
to the hearts of all on board. Being
constantly with the men, and at the same
time being allowed to roam at will all
over the vessel, she very quickly became
tame and gentle as kitten and quite
as playful. The one place where she
was not allowed was the engine-room
and this not because the chief did not
like her, but because he was afraid she
might get hurt. The other day Sallie
was missed at dinner-time, and one of
the men volunteered to find her, when,
after a long search, she was found
perched on the walking-beam of the
engine, which was in motion. There
she chung and at every movement of
the great beam she was raised to within
six inches of the ceiling and her little
fat body compressed to a corresponding
thinness; but she never made whim-
per, too much frightened to Jump off,
and knowing if she made a noise she
would be whipped, so there she chung,
alternately getting good breath and
the next moment losing it in rather
violent manner. The moment she was
safe in the mans arms she Rugged him
tight and began to squeal and make a
tremendous row, behaving in this
manner like others of her sex. Among
the many tricks she plays is one of
stealing quietly up to the cabin door,
rising on her hind feet, giving the door
sounding whack with one of her paws
and grabbing the knob, almost shake
the door from its hinges; the second
she hears a footstep away she goes
scampering aft. A very cute bear is

Paris Cats.

No matter at what hour of the day or
night you may chance TO be passing by
the big buildings which stretch from
the court of assizes to the Tribunal
CorrectiOnnel, you will see an army of
cats, of all sizes, breeds and colors,
seated, lying down, or prowling about
the place. To whom do they belong?
To nobody. They are all lost cats.
Who feeds them? La mere auT chats,
the mother Of the cats. Every day,
wet or fine, at nine in the morning and
nine at night, good old lady arrives,
bending beneath the weight of heavy
basket. She settles down in the court
yard known as the COm du depot,
takes number of saucers out of her
basket and puts a piece of meat on
each. The cats know their feeding
hours, and cluster around. Then the
distribution begins. All is done fairly.
There is no squabbling. Each little
boarder waits in turn, knowing it will
not be forgotten. AS she serves them
the good old mother of the cats " has
a kind word and caress for each: and
each cat answers with "A grateful purr.
When all have been fed the mere dur
chats bids her children goodbye, gathers
up her saucers and departs. l have
taken some pains to find out the good
woman's name. She is a Nine. W.,
and lives with her son, an usher, at
COur de Cessation. She is sixty-three
years old, and has fed the cats of the pre-
lecture for the past five years. AT first
her son tried to prevent her. But she
would not be dissuaded, appealed to the
administration, and had the permission
she needed formally granted her. She
has only one trouble-the thought that
she is growing old. "If | were to fall
ill.," she eXclaims, "who would feed
the poor hings?"-Selected

fur tbe CHILDREN.
Od-Night.

The tales are told, the songs are sung,
The evening romp is over,
And up the nursery stairs they climb,
With little buzzng tongues that chime
Like bees among the clover.
Their busy brains and happy hearts
Are full of crowding fancies
From song and tale and makebelleve
A wondrous web of dreams they weave
And airy child romances.
The starry night is fair without
The new moon rises slowly;
The nursery lamp is burning faint;
Each like a white-robed little saint,
Their prayers they murmur slowly.
Goodnight The tired heads are still,
on pillows soft reposing;
The dim and dizzy mist Of sleep
About their thoughts begin to creep,
Their drowsy eyes are closing.
Goodnight While through the silent air
The moonbeams pale are streaming
They drift from daylight's noisy shore;
Blow out the light and shut the door
And leave them to their dreaming.
